We are an amazing and eclectic lot bound together by some universal cyber-link ... likened to the Borg Collectic or 'Nid Hive Mind ... (By the way, I'm watching "Alien Resurrection" as I'm writing this ... who knows what I'll come up with next ?!)

My roommate and I just finished watching "the 13th Warrior."
I finished painting the hills and everything is ready for CONQUEST except a few army lists that I want to tweak with a little.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I just love that movie. I could watch it many more times.

13 Warrior is a Great movie ! I'm getting quite a blood rush from all the slaughter in Alien Resurrection ! I could have been watching porn on C/max but choose aliens, guts & guns ! Now that's entertainment !

I could, but the list was made when the E:A rules were still in the development stage. I'll probably have to update it somewhat.

I played Imperial guard yesterday and had an unpleasant experience with my Chaos. I've got a rematch planned for next week, 4000 pts, and I'm looking for general ideas, hints, tips, suggestions, etc for how I should approach making my army list and playing the game.
Any help would be appreciated.

What kind of unpleasant experience did you have?
My Gargant Bigmob was finally defeated yesterday, by IG as well. It was the first game we'd played that went to 5 turns and it still ended in tie-breaker: IG - 1625 vs OGBM - 1600. The closest game we've ever played! *laugh*
Leman Russ companies are horrifying! And massed fire-fighting infantry stands can do a lot of damage. What was your experience against them?

Well, ok here goes. First off, I'm a terrible player when in new situations so my confidence was low to begin with as I had not faced IG before. I read up on them and knew the two army lists involved so I was able to develop a two fold strategy: duel artillery with my defilers, and on turn two teleport in 6 chosen + 2 oblits to assault the leman russ company with FF support from any large marine formations I had nearby.
Well, the first turn artillery-negation plan worked flawlessly, with the defilers breaking the manticores and a forlorn hope suicide attack breaking the basilisks leaving only Bombards which had no range to anything except the forlorn hope formation.
At the beginning of turn 2 I teleported the termies into 5 cm of the exposed and alone leman russes and was ready to assault when I lost the roll to go first. Even with a +2 advantage, I rolled a one (my second one in the game BTW) and he rolled the 4+ he needed to beat that. Well, the Leman Russes sustained fire and broke the terminators by killing 3 of them (darn teleport blast marker helped) and then ran them into the ground with thunderbolt attack runs and a single manticore.
Other minor disasters also occurred to have most of my army broken or dead before the rally phase of turn 2 with most of his army still humming along. If only I had won init on turn 2, it could have been a different outcome. Drat.
Still, when a game comes down to "if I make this roll I don't lose" then that means your plan is seriously flawed so I'm looking for more help. Ideas, hints, tactics, overall strategies, anything.
